Evening Prayer

Away,
fly and float in the drifts.

Go,
brandish the hilt and strike
against a cloudless sky.

Back
in the shadows, whisper.

Come
forward to hear better.

Leave
your shoes on; come
Alone -
is where yesterday hid
Today.

Hello...

This poem is exquisite... Your words hold a mystery; and a touch of enchantment, that I love in poetry. Like the Bardic songs once carried in the Wind. I just want to share with you, the pleasure it gave me reading it. Thank you... Raven.
